Vinyl and cassettes are two of the oldest physical forms of music and for those who still own copies of both, get ready for a fusion of the two with the ION Duo Deck.
Entertainment systems being able to handle more than one music format isn't new, but rarely are they designed to be compatible with a vintage model. The ION Duo Deck is one of the very few machines on the market that can operate both vinyl and cassettes, which is good news for collectors. The best part is that it can even convert the music into MP3 format using the EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter software. The Duo Deck is compatible with 45 and 33-1/3 RPM records, as well as normal and chrome cassette tapes.
Considering how vinyl is making a comeback and some people still own cassettes, the Duo Deck will bring the best of both worlds coveniently together.
